Brand ‘a messiah with feet of clay’

Russell Brand was exposed as a "messiah with feet of clay" in his Question Time clash with Nigel Farage, the Ukip leader has claimed.

The comedian condemned Farage as a “pound shop Enoch Powell” on the BBC1 show Thursday night, which saw the two field questions from a studio audience on immigration, schools, and Brand’s anti-politics campaign.

Both took to the internet to continue trading insults after filming was complete.
